After Marrying the Disabled, I Became the Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 449

Hearing this, Chu Ruoyan asked in surprise, "Yun Zihao? Didn't Second Brother kill him?"At that time in the Cold Palace, they were forced to send away their eldest brother, heartbroken. Yun Lang had stabbed him full of bloody holes to vent his anger, and she had thought the man was already dead.

Yan Zheng knitted his brows, put away the note and lit it over the fire: "Yun Lang said that letting him die just like that would be letting him off too easily, so he broke his limbs and locked him in the dungeon to slowly torture him. But just a few days ago, someone broke into the prison and rescued him."

As he spoke, a hint of confusion surfaced in his eyes.

Yun Zihao's partisans had been uprooted after that battle.

He was certain that no hidden dangers were left behind, but who could have the ability to break someone out of the dungeon?

Chu Ruoyan asked, "Could it be Wu Xian? After all, they are in cahoots."

Yan Zheng thought for a moment and shook his head: "The timing doesn't match. Wu Xian hurried back as soon as we blew up the Sacred Cult's headquarters. That was more than half a month ago. He couldn't possibly have returned to the capital to save him."

Chu Ruoyan rubbed her temples but couldn't figure it out either. Just then, the sound of children crying came from the courtyard. Nanny Zhou and Yulu rushed in carrying the two children: "Your Majesty, Your Highness! For some unknown reason, the two little princes have been crying non-stop for half an hour!"

Chu Ruoyan's heart skipped a beat, and she hurried over to take a look. She saw the two little guys wailing incessantly, their faces red from crying. "What's going on? Have you had the old master look at them?"

Nanny Zhou stomped her foot: "Look at my old brain, I forgot!"

After saying that, the group rushed towards Qin Yiru's courtyard.

The old man examined them for a long time but couldn't figure out the cause. "Their cries are loud and clear, and their pulses are fine. Could it be that they haven't eaten enough?"

Yulu shook her head anxiously: "The wet nurse just fed them an hour ago, and Nanny Zhou changed their diapers. There's no problem!"

"That's really bizarre..."

Qin Yiru began to check them again, and Chu Ruoyan's heart tightened: "Yan Zheng, why don't we invite Mother over?"

If there's no physical problem, could it be voodoo or something similar?

After all, they are in the Western Frontier now!

Yan Zheng understood her thoughts and immediately called for a shadow guard.

In a short while, the Prince Regent supported the Princess Consort as they walked over, stopping before they even entered the courtyard.

"Qing'er, what's wrong?"

The Princess Consort shook her head and called inside, "All of you come out first."

Everyone did as they were told. They saw her check on her grandsons first, then furrow her brows and say, "Just as I thought."

Then, pressing her right index finger to her lips, she softly chanted something. With a few "hissing" sounds, a large swarm of black bugs crawled out from the four corners of the courtyard, densely packed, making one's heart tremble with fear.

"Holy cow, who cast the Gu! I'm most afraid of these things!" Qin Yiru jumped three feet high. Aunt Luo said in a deep voice, "It's the Snake-Attaching Gu used for spying! To think there are so many of them!"

After she finished speaking, the Princess Consort's gaze sharpened: "Break!"

As if receiving some kind of command, the Gu bugs burst open one after another with a series of pops.

Black water and white pus flowed out together, making many people feel nauseous.

When the last Gu bug died, the two children also stopped crying.

Chu Ruoyan asked in confusion, "Mother, what is this?"

The Princess Consort touched her grandsons' foreheads. The two children had cried themselves to sleep. She asked Nanny Zhou to carry them away before saying, "They were affected by the Snake-Attaching Gu. This kind of Gu is extremely good at hiding and is hard to detect unless it shows itself. But I didn't expect Daniu and Xiaoniu..."

Saying their names, she couldn't help but smile. "They are infants, so their perception is naturally sharper than ordinary people. Coupled with the fact that they have the bloodline of the Sacred Cult, they sensed it in advance and cried non-stop."

Chu Ruoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Lang gritted his teeth: "It must be Wu Xian! He holds a grudge against us for blowing up his headquarters, so he's taking revenge!"

"Wu Xian?" The Princess Consort was stunned. "Didn't you say it was the Prince of Jin's heir?"

Yun Lang explained, "Mother, I didn't make it clear to you before. The ones who refined the medicine men were Yun Zihao and Aunt Luo's senior brother, but we suspect the real culprit behind the scenes is Wu Xian. After all, the Medicine Man Gu was listed as a forbidden art by you, and only your disciples would have the chance to get close to it..."

Hearing this, the Princess Consort's face sank. Wu Xian was sent over when her father was still alive, saying that he was extremely talented in the art of magic and asking her to cultivate him carefully. At that time, she felt that this child's mind was not right, but she thought that with her around, she could always suppress him, so she didn't reject her father's good intentions and took him in.

But she didn't expect that rearing a tiger would bring calamity, and in the end, it even killed her Zhao'er...

The Prince Regent looked at the Princess Consort's slightly trembling body and said dissatisfiedly, "Qing'er, is a traitor worth you acting like this? Wait until I catch him and bring him back for you to deal with slowly. If you're still not satisfied, just pick another one from the two cows and teach him slowly. Our own child will never make mistakes again!"

Two cows?

Chu Ruoyan and Yan Zheng were shocked to the core. No matter how bad the Princess Consort's mood was, she was amused: "How can you talk about your own grandsons like that?"

The Prince Regent looked indifferent.

At this time, a person from the Baixiao Pavilion hurriedly ran over and said, "Pavilion Master, this is bad! A lot of people from the Western Frontier have come down the mountain, all carrying weapons!"

Yun Lang raised his eyebrows: "Who is leading them?"

"I can't see clearly. He seems to be wearing priest's clothes, and I heard someone call him High Priest."

Everyone was startled, and the Princess Consort's face slowly sank: "It's Wu Xian."

The ​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌​‍Sacred Cult of the Western Frontier only had one Holy Maiden, and below the Holy Maiden, there was only one High Priest.

Yun Lang sneered: "Is Wu Xian crazy? How dare he come to attack Mount Mei? Doesn't he know the old madman—" He paused, "Doesn't he know the famous Prince Regent is here?"

The man hurriedly said, "This subordinate doesn't know. I only know that they also brought heavy weapons like repeating crossbows and catapults. It looks like they're here to fight!"

The Prince Regent sneered: "Good timing, it saves this prince the effort of looking for him!"

After saying that, he dashed out like the wind. Yun Lang was about to follow, but was forced back by a palm strike: "All of you get back! No interfering!"

Yun Lang laughed out of anger. He had never seen someone so unappreciative!

The Princess Consort smiled and comforted him: "Your father is used to acting alone, just let him be."

"Is he acting alone? He's being dictatorial and arbitrary!" Yun Lang was full of anger when talking about his biological father. Just as he was about to explode, Chu Ruoyan quickly changed the subject. "By the way, Second Brother, Yun Zihao was taken away. Did you know?"

Yun Lang was stunned: "When did this happen?"

"A few days ago. Who do you think it could be?"

Yun Lang pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Yan Zheng, "That day, to force me to become the emperor, you said you had a letter written by the mole who betrayed the Yun family to Murong Feng. Have you read that letter? Who is the mole?"

Yan Zheng paused, and a strange look flashed in Chu Ruoyan's eyes.

Forced Second Brother to become the emperor? Why?

But she didn't ask further. She only watched the emperor remain silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I've seen it. The mole didn't sign his full name, only the word 'Yun'."

"Yun? Someone from the Yun family?" The Princess Consort gasped.

Yun Lang shook his head resolutely: "Impossible! The late emperor had no descendants, and Uncle Jin only has one son, Yun Zihao! If it really were Uncle Jin, how could he allow me to break Yun Zihao's limbs before coming to save him? Absolutely impossible!"

For a moment, none of them had a clue. Just then.

Boom!!

Suddenly, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, as if the entire Mount Mei had trembled.

Yan Zheng steadied Chu Ruoyan, while Yun Lang supported his mother. The four of them exchanged glances, a grave solemnity flashing through the Princess Consort's eyes. "This is bad. It's gunpowder!"
